It's amazing how something so mundane back in 1983 can be so enjoyable in 2022

technically we can go back in time with Webb telescope if we had a mirror on the other side or some how to reflect the telescope. we could zoom in and see in the past ....possibly even send messages that would affect the future. I believe it is possible

In 1983, I was 8 years old and playing on a Rep Basbeall Team. I remember the big old cars, like you see in this video. My Dad would drive me to, and pick me up from baseball practice; but I could never close his car door. Those old cars were so heavy that I had to ask my father to get out of the car and close my door side for me. I haven't seen my DAD in almost a decade and this video made me think about my time spent with him as a child. God, I miss the 1980s. The best decade ever.

Obviously i wouldn't know the back story but as a kind suggestion from a stranger, maybe give the old man a call to see how he's doing, after all time is finite for us.

Hello, I live on the west coast of South America in Chile, and my uncles had those big cars made in the United States, in the 70's and 80's. They were nicknamed "boats" because of their length and breadth. They were very difficult to park in the city, due to the large space they needed. The streets in my country are of European standard, they are not as wide as in North America, and those vehicles did give a headache when looking for space to park, in addition to consuming a lot of gasoline. Everything meant that in the 80's Asian and European cars were marketed in Chile because they were smaller, less fuel consumers and easier to park due to their dimensions.

NYC was great through the 80's. Every neighborhood had it's own identity and flavor. The one place it all came together, where the rubber met the road was Manhattan and everybody got along. It was great. Starting In the 90's and after 2001, Manhattan became s..t. The character and grit of NYC was gone.

I was working as a messenger back then and one day saw Robin Williams filming the hot dog stand scene for the movie "Moscow on the Hudson". It was just him and 4 other guys. One guy was smoking weed. Everybody every body smoked back then. Walk through any park and 4 or 5 dealers would be trying to sell you weed.

I heard at the Simon and Garfunkel concert in Central park he told the cops not to bust anyone for weed and they didn't.

This would have been the equivalent of watching an old 1944 b/w clip of NYC in 1983. "Man, that was a long time ago...during World War 2". When you're older, '83 still seems like a modern era compared to your parents/ grandparents era. Funny how that works. A little scary, too.

It's changed so much. The skyline today is unrecognizable and the Empire State building is just dwarfed by other buildings in Midtown.

@WitchKing-Of-Angmar 2 жыл бұрын

I mean, I wouldn't say dwarfed, the empire state building is still reasonably tall and is the staple for what becomes a supertall and what is shorter than the empire state building. Vanderbilt and hudson 50 are both sitting close to to the empire state building by a few blocks (about 10 in each direction) and honestly its not that big of a difference, at least one can naturally have 102 stories whereas the rest have lengthened floor heights and so top out at an unsavory 80 stories despite being taller than the empire state building. Nordstrom tower is the tallest currently, sits at 98 stories or actually 130.
